Sunday December 24, 2006 The Dark Ages of Windows: Just a Bad Memory?
I'm getting very close to being totally Windows-free. If not for the occasional need for a few Windows-only applications, I'd be rid of it already. I use Parallels on my Mac Book Pro to run Windows XP when I need it.
Working at Sun, you get used to rock solid operating systems. I can't remember the last time my Sun Ray server crashed, and I don't believe my work-issued Solaris laptop ever crashed on me. Ditto with my Mac Book Pro and Mac OS X. I've had a few application issues (notably Mail.app), but the machine has never crashed on me.
Working today on my Mac, beavering away on something or other, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that one of my windows had suddenly turned black. Bringing the window forward, I saw it was my Parallels window and that Windows XP had crashed--again.
